Hi
I have a Skelcey in my family tree and I have just started to try and find out about them. My Grandmother was Mabel Malin (Nee Skelcey) her father was James Skelsey from Cubbington. i have found quite a few Skelcey's on this website http://www.hunimex.com/warwick/freecens/index.html . If you look on numbers 2467 thru to 2475 you will find them. The main one is 2475 which cover Cubbington in 1891 has quite a few Skelcey's listed. Hope this is of help. obviously if anyone can help me with information on the Skelcey's in Cubbington / Leamington i would be grateful. below is what i copied off the above website, it shows my Grandmothers family, when Mabel (grandmother)was only 7 months old.

I'm sorry to have to disappoint you, Phil, but it's unlikely that this Mabel is your grandmother. This Mabel Skelcey never married, unless there is a very odd skeleton in the cupboard we don't know about. George H Skelcey was my grandfather, and I met Great-Aunt Mabel a few times. Like all but one of her sisters, she went into domestic service - but unlike the others, she seemed to make a career out of it.
She lived until her mid-nineties, dying in the mid 80's. A niece, who is still around, looked after her in her final years, and I'll contact her to find out if there's anything strange we've not so far been told about,
Chris
PS I'm collecting data on all the descendants of James and Sarah if anyone's interested, or can contribute anything.

Chris,
The information I have is very sketchy, the only thing I have to go on is that my Grandmothers maiden name was Mabel Skelcey and that she married a William H Malin. No dates or much else apart that they came from Cubbington and that one of Mabels sisters (no first name) married a man with the surname Bolt. Also that Mabels brother Thomas Skelsey may have married a Lizzie Malin. I have found another Mabel Skelsey but again have no real evidence that it is the right one. From what I have discovered is that memories and information from family, is not always correct. the Mabel I am looking at now, is below. Mabel Skelcey was my grandmother and lived in 9 The Holt, Lillington until she died.

Any help with above and any info anyone can give me on the skelcey's and how the families are joined, will be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Hi Phil, it does look as if this might be your grandmother. (My great-aunt Mabel lived in Leamington in later years.) This family were living in Cubbington very near to mine in 1891 and it was easy to confuse this George (born 1858 I think) with my great-grandfather's brother George born 1863 who was also living nearby with his family. None of my great-aunts married a Bolt and you have at least one other great-aunt besides Harriet - Mary who at 15 may well have been in service by 1901.
Carol02 has traced the Skelcey line in Cubbington back to the 1740s. The actual relationships are difficult to prove exactly, but the circumstantial evidence is strong, and it seems certain that we are related, though not as closely as you might have thought!
I was amused by the ear-biting incident, though I don't suppose it was funny at the time! I don't know who this William Samuel Skelsey might have been, can't see any candidates - unlikely to have been my great-uncle Will who would have been 40 at the time and had no middle name as far as I know. (Besides, if he was lacking an ear I think I'd have heard about it.)
Chris

Ok in line with with Policy, I have rewritten the info found on websites/census databases. So if anyone can see a connection to their family tree or has information, could you Post it please.
My other question is how do you find in formation on families after 1901, are there any other census's / records we can online search. As I live in Essex, going to Leamington to search records, would not be practical. As you can guess I am new to reseaching family information.

Harriett Skelsey 1862 Folesill Wife (1891 and 1901 Census)

Hi Carol,
As much as you can really, I have just started to trace my family tree.
I believe that Mabel Skelsey married my Grandfather William H Malin, she later remarried after his death. Also that Thomas Skelsey may have married a Lizzie Malin of the same family. One direct question is that in the 1891 census I found William T Skelcey and later in the 1901 census I could only find Thomas Skelsey. They both had the same birth year of 1884 ish, are they the same person, with the William T - standing for Thomas. I am basically looking for confirmation that I have the right Mabel and Thomas.
Trying I suppose to go as far back along the line as I can.
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil I haven.t got that imformation about the Malins. I am still researching the family. George had a sister Ellen, she was my gt, grandmother. Did you see my request under warwickshire requests? Did you know they had a daughter lucy Ann christened 29 Jan 1893 and only lived 21 days. They had another daughter Daisy Mary christened 26 July 1896 and buried 4 sep 1896. Walter henry was christened 28 aug 1901 St Pauls. Leamington. I have traced his line. Carol
